ExportHub vs Fictiv

ExportHub is a web-based international B2B marketplace that connects buyers and sellers and lets sellers present goods to prospective customers. Its stated audience includes wholesalers, buyers, importers, exporters, manufacturers, traders, distributors, SMEs, and MNCs. Buyer accounts are free. A free seller account can post up to five products and respond to one buying inquiry per day. Paid services include buyer data, account-manager assistance, and access to active buyers and suppliers from major regions. Marketing services include product search ranking, banner advertising, social media marketing, digital catalogs, SEO, and company website creation. Listed annual memberships are $1,500 a year for STANDARD, $2,999 a year for GOLD, and $5,999 a year for VIP; profile, showcase, ranking, advertising, and account-manager benefits differ by tier. ExportHub says it does not buy or sell products directly and is not a sourcing agent. Its sourcing solution describes supplier authentication, price and quality review, and sourcing assistance. A verified or credible seller tag requires a paid membership for a full year and documents such as company registration and a bank account in the company name.
